Rockefeller is the weakest link in the well-oiled New York Republican chain. He has tried to attach himself to the rising Lindsay star, much to the disgust of many of Lindsay's backers. (His chief effort--a Newsweek article signed by Rockefeller sycophant Emmett Hughes--tried to give the Governor credit for Lindsay's decision to run.) All of Rockefeller's labors are only casting a very dark shadow over whatever distant light may be shed by the Lindsay star: for the one fact that can explain the byzantine machinations of New York politics in the past year...
...Disgust. The new act is undoubtedly harsh, probably harsher than Castello Branco, a man dedicated to constitutional democracy, would have liked to see. Yet it is what the military linha dura, or hardline, officers demanded. These are the soldiers who led the March 1964 coup against Leftist Joao Goulart in disgust at the corruption, demagoguery, and opportunistic politics that have prevailed in Brazil for years.

Nor, Composer Gian Carlo Menotti has pointed out, do they have faces half a block wide, as they do on movie screens. In short, the complaint that an art form is unrealistic is the poorest...
...describes a political organization ridden with tension and rent by personal feuds. He pictures the Goldwater effort as crippled by disunity and lack of planning. His disgust runs so deep that at one point he observes, in certain exaggeration, "Almost every unfortunate incident of the campaign could have been prevented by adequate advance planning. In the confusion and uncertainty that actually prevailed, it is perhaps miraculous that Goldwater did as well...
